The duo appeared on the French TV show 'Quotidien' to discuss their film, which revolves around the final night of operation for a struggling nightclub, symbolizing their last chance for survival.

Fortunately, Ducret stepped in with quips to lighten the atmosphere, illuminating the casual, comedic style of 'Quotidien'. “Pardonnez-moi, je voulais dire que ce n'est pas une série, mais que c'est un téléfilm!” Ducret joked, allowing Barthès to regain his composure as they transitioned back to discussing 'Panique au 31' comprehensively.
The film, which has generated substantial buzz, captures the essence of holiday revelry intertwined with the do-or-die stakes of nightlife. It depicts a nightclub at the brink of closing, where the New Year's Eve party stands as the ultimate chance for redemption. Barthès pitched the film's premise, stating, “C'est un film sur l'histoire d'une boîte de nuit qui est sur le point d'être fermée et qui mise tout sur une immense fête du 31 décembre pour se refaire. C'est très marrant et il y a plein de guest dedans.”
The energy on set was palpable, showcasing the natural chemistry between the guests and the host. Barthès, known for his relaxed hosting style, posed fun questions to his guests, including queries about their favorite nightclubs growing up. The banter encapsulated the spirit of the show as they swapped entertaining anecdotes, making it clear just how much fun the night's topic was.
Twists like Barthès’s humorous linguistic hiccup not only keep viewers entertained but also exemplify the show’s candid format. The blend of serious and light-hearted discussions adds to 'Quotidien's charm, allowing audiences to stay connected with current trends mixed with humor.
Reflecting on the upcoming festivities, viewers are treated to segments highlighting the comical chaos typical of holiday gatherings, which resonates with many during this period. The lively exchanges make it feel as if the audience is part of the fun, contributing to the show's overall appeal.
